A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) is travelling from the sun at 1000km per /sec and will give the Earth a glancing blow. The sun goes through a solar cycle every 11 years and there is an increased activity on the surface.

The CME might have a impact on S.A. because of the South Atlantic Anomaly, where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest.

At 4.00 pm this afternoon a solar flare will brush the Earth. No major disturbances but satellites might be slightly disrupted.

You have probably heard about it already, but we are in for a bit of fun...A titanic collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, which you can actually see if you are in the Southern half of the Earth.
